It’s that time of year again where Ohio State men’s basketball’s newest players are given their number assignments for this coming season.
In this day and age of most collegiate sports, there is plenty of turnover from year to year. That is no different for the Buckeye hoops team as they welcomed in four new freshman along with three transfers during the 2023 offseason.
The seven new players represent over half the active roster, so this coming seasons team will look much different than last year’s disappointing squad. Find out below what number each new member of the Ohio State men’s basketball team will be wearing when the season tip’s off.
